Purpose: The study aimed to assess teachers’ competence and learners’ readiness in the utilization of supplemental learning materials in science 4 in the new normal in Aguado Elementary School as basis for enhanced learning modules. Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: What is the level of teachers’ competence in the development of supplemental learning materials in Science 4? What is the level of learners’ readiness towards the utilization of the supplemental learning materials? What enhanced supplemental learning modules in Science 4 can be developed based on the results of the study? What is the comparative level of performance of the respondents in Science 4 before and after the utilization of supplemental learning modules? and What recommendations may be proposed to enhance the quality of supplemental learning materials in Science 4?
Design/methodology/approach: This study employed the use of Descriptive and Experimental method of research. Specifically, this method will be applied in the discussion and analysis of the following integral concepts of the study: 1. the level of teachers’ competence in the development of supplemental learning materials in science 4 in the new normal; 2. the level of learners’ readiness towards the utilization of the supplemental learning material; and 3. the enhanced supplemental learning modules can be developed based on the results of the study. Meanwhile, the Experimental method will be applied in the analysis of the comparative level of performance of the respondents in science 4 before and after the utilization of supplemental learning modules.
Findings: The study found that: The teacher-respondents can develop their own set of teacher-made learning modules in science 4. The pupil-respondents were poorly ready in comprehending the directions and instructions in the supplemental learning materials. Based on the results of the study, the researcher developed a set of supplemental, teacher-made learning modules in Science 4. 40 percent of the pupil-respondents attained an average level of performance in post-test in Science 4 with a post-test.
Research limitations/implications: The key respondents of this study were the selected grade four pupils of Aguado Elementary School. They are selected via purposive sampling.
Originality/value: In this research, a supplemental teacher-made learning modules in science 4 were develop to address the problems on the least mastered competencies of the learners n science 4.
